Gordon Ramsay is currently searching for people to humiliate on Season 5 of Hell’s Kitchen. And just in case you were looking for more proof that Hell’s Kitchen is not a “serious” cooking show, here you go:

According to their website, they are looking for  “outspoken, competitive, and engaging men and women, 21 and over.” And guess what? Prior cooking experience is “PREFERRED.” Preferred!!?? You mean no culinary experience is required for this COOKING SHOW? None at all?!

Can’t tell the difference between chicken and beef? No problem! Apply to be on Hell’s Kitchen anyway! Did you sever your left index finger last time you tried to butter your toast? That’s ok! You, too, might soon be executive chef of a brand new restaurant. Good luck!

We are searching for outspoken, competitive, and engaging men and women, 21 and over, with varying culinary experience. Applicants must be passionate about food and aim to become the next winner of “Hell’s Kitchen.” Food lovers, experienced chefs, cooks, fast food and cafeteria workers, private chefs, weekend gourmets, caterers, are all encouraged to email hellskitchen@theconlincompany.com or call 866-226-2226 for more information. Prior cooking experience preferred.
